Asking out of curiosity. Is it really that common that every sexually active women will eventually have to consider an abortion? I grew up in a similar community to OP where these things are not discussed freely.

Either way you’re absolutely right.

Yes. Abortion should be considered. Birth pills and condoms are not 100% effective. They are NOT like bullet-proof vests, contrary to popular un-educated beliefs. Our periods can make it worse too. Sometimes it's also not the right time to have children and you can change your mind. Like, if you just got a new job you really want to do for example. I would never put my future partner through that stress and I expect the same respect back.

i also must stress that if a woman says "no", no means no. "stop" means stop. if you didnt bother asking the woman for consent even if she gave in, that should be considered rape. if you dont want to go through that, please do not put others through it. this is such a simple basic logic. cheating goes through the same logic.

That's a pretty bad analogy. Bullet-proof vests are also not like bullet-proof vests.
